We are hiring a Merchandise Planning Manager to join our Department Name team. This position reports to the Director, Merchandise Planning and takes Away further by architecting our multi-year omnichannel product roadmap and global pricing strategy, allowing us to further grow our ownership in the travel marketplace.
As a key strategic leader, you will own portfolio profitability across DTC and Wholesale channels, drive commercial performance, and develop a high-impact team to scale Away's global footprint.
Our total rewards are inclusive of both compensation and benefits. What we offer within a salary range is dependent on a number of factors, including scope and qualifications for the role, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to other Away employees. Salary and benefit offerings are reviewed during phone screenings to ensure alignment.
This is an office-based position that works from our Soho, NYC office four days a week. Our working hours are 9am-6pm et, but we embrace a common-sense approach to flexibility in the workplace. It’s about being present, engaged, and balancing work with real-life needs.
As a company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion, Away seeks individuals of all backgrounds and experiences to apply for this opportunity. We’re creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Our customers are global and diverse, so we’re building a team that is too. Through initiatives like our Employee Resource Groups, anti-racism training, and bias prevention initiatives, we’re building the cultural foundation that gives people the emotional and physical space to bring their authentic selves to work.
Away is dedicated to hiring a diverse workplace that celebrates an inclusive culture and a sense of belonging.
